Can I have respite included in my plan?

Yes, the NDIS calls it Short Term Accommodation (STA) and it can be included in your plan.

STA funds support and accommodation away from your usual home for short stays. It gives you a change of scene and new experiences. It also gives your family or carers time to recharge.

Whether it's funded comes back to your goals. Goals that support STA funding include:

  • Building independence and life skills away from home
  • Trying new social and community experiences
  • Preparing for a move to more independent living
